Critical Praise

"Charming."

——Vogue

"A tense, elegant novel . . . Paraguay materializes as Tuck’s characters do, imperceptibly, until the sounds, smells and colors of the country saturate the pages."

——Boston Globe

"Decorous detail and vivid imagery . . . Reading THE NEWS FROM PARAGUAY feels like looking into a crystal ball: seeing pieces of a garden, storm clouds building, lives passing."

——Los Angeles Times

"Compelling...the stuff that good fiction is made of: complex characters and an intricate narrative."

——Newsday
